Hi

>" Is that really where it stopped or did you get a login prompt?  "
No there is definetly no login prompt, i tried typing something but
nothing happened
"If you got  a login prompt, try hitting <ctrl><alt><F7>.  There is a
small bug currently which causes the thin client not to switch to
graphical mode at the last moment, even though the graphical system is
working."

I tried it out but nothing happened, i havnt configured anything on the
server. I just tried to add the grapics card, a s3trio 3d, i just wrote
"XSERVER=s3trio" not sure its right. i booted the thin client and same
message appeared, the marker is just blinking after the ready message
